ham

🥗Healthier: turkey ham

💰Cheaper: bacon

Turkey ham is lower in fat, while bacon is often cheaper.

cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Low-fat cheese reduces calories, while processed cheese is often less expensive.

Beat the eggs in a bowl until just combined.

Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Add diced ham, green bell pepper, and red onion to the skillet with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Cook the mixture until the onions and peppers soften and the ham caramelizes.

Reduce heat to medium-low and pour in the egg mixture, mixing gently to distribute the ingredients.

Let the omelet cook until the top is wet but not runny, monitoring with a spatula.

Sprinkle white cheddar cheese on top and optionally add cayenne pepper.

Fold the omelet in half once it is firm enough and transfer to a plate.
